Everyone should go that route whether they auto floss, track or not. It just prevents a ton of damage to the ali panels should there ever be a minor rear wing loss for whatever reason.

MA has sun? what about adapting something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Trillium-Worldwide-GS-2014-Glare-Shield/dp/B00KBKOAGY/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_263_tr_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=0C7J7M2XJFYA4BA1YMGA There are a bunch of different products like this on amazon

Come and join us Alfonse! Where there is a will there is a way! Maybe Tom C knows enough Birkin owners on the west coast to make a trailer solution work?

I can understand Skip - she was being attentively fussed over by Dermot who was enjoying himself immensely. She is in great hands.

For photos, I need to collect the Saturday group photo at Don's place plus the photos that Amos took and I will work out how to get them all to you. This may take a few weeks.

There is one person who deserves recognition at this event above all - TJ Kenny of TK Autosports. He and Ian his erstwhile assistant render many services to keep more than one sevener on the track. Electrical, welding, missing nuts and screws, tire fitting, etc. Quite a few would have had game over if it was not for TJ and Ian. He makes himself on call at Drivers' Club Events to keep us boys on track (for a fee of course). Here is TJ discussing the finer points of suspension tuning after I added skid marks to my underwear at turn 7 while testing the BMW CSL briefly on the Sunday.

Mike winning the "Failed Potential" Award...he kept clean all weekend...soooo unusual Simon winning the Debris Award (a rock painted in debris flag colors) for hitting the cone that hit the rear wing that caused Dan to creates skid marks on track and in his underwear and to give me a good old cardio workout. Tom awarding something... Ah yes...the Mechanical Sympathy Award to Roman. For achievement in seeking the collective input of your fellow motoring experts on how to tighten a coolant tank cap (clockwise for the record)! I am slightly exaggerating....not much.... Other award winners: The Polisher Award - Steve for his Mallock. He won a purple furry steering wheel cover, gear knob protector and a hand brake cover. Since he does not have a handbrake in the Mallock then all I can say is that he will be warm in winter! Best Directions in a Moving Vehicle Award - George for pointing us by all weekend. I Can Steer Award - Dan for making a Westfield Miata boogie along quickly. Golden Skidmarks Award - Dave for his turn 1 pirrouette Fast in a Straight Line Award - Matt for 620R levels of straight line speed There were probably other awards but I was getting fuzzy by that stage of the night.

The Saturday night group photo will be forthcoming at some point. The Sunday night cocktail hour at the Clubhouse. Then we move to the Awards Dinner

Then back in the pits between sessions we cool off under the canopies, catching the breeze, and chat. Here is the normally shy Jeff - don't you like his t-shirt? So subtle! Mike (Kitcat) Dan And the honorary Pit Chief Dog - Ginger

Me and Tom cruising the lightbulb at Lightning circuit.

Then we head out onto the track

Time for our group photo on the start finish line

Nothing prepares you for Steve's desire to be shiny, reflective and mirror like. The Mallock is but one example of this stunning finish And yes folks, that rear panel is mirroring the asphalt...it is that shiny! For those that do not know, a Mallock was the idea of taking the best of a seven and fixing its weak points. Gorgeous thing.

More tech inspection fun - Paul dealing with NJMP's 'Froggy' for the first time. Tom C studying Graham's Honda installation and wondering if louvres are the secret to performance. Fred working on his Locost BEC screamer Dermot tanning his face in the Mallock's reflections while Steve shares the joke

Graham's Honda powered Locost Dan's secret strategy to stop people passing and to blind him at the same time! Westfield Miata dash - in the right hands these pedal along quite quickly. Impressive car. Give it a turbo Dan! Getting the cars tech inspected. Michael D giving Roman some "birds and bees" advice while Mario stares on in disbelief

This year we let a Mallock Clubman and a Lotus 61 FF run with us on the basis that they go around corners quickly with a performance envelope similar to a traditional Lotus 7, fit the "add lightness" ethos and the owners are really fun guys. It helped that they were simply gorgeous cars - jewel like in engineering.
